You don't know if the Xbox One X version 2 will be crushed by the Playstation 5. We have zero idea what the hardware is. What the software is. What the price is. Nothing.

Xbox One X is not going to be a sales monster, no one actually expects it to be. Playstation 4 Pro set the precedent that iterative mid-generation consoles are not massive sellers.

It should've been proper and basic economic sense that Mid gen refreshes are not massive sellers. LOL We all said the Pro wasnt going to be a massive seller and the Xbox fanboys on youtube tried to push the fact that the Xbox One X was going to be the game changer that theyve been waiting for to stop Sonys ascent. Microsoft has the money to be competitive...they just need to get in touch with their creative side.

Even if they got in touch with their creative side it would take damn near a decade for it to start paying dividends. Sony did not get to where they are overnight it took them most of last gen to get the creative juice flowing. So that means MS should be launching their Uncharted 2 right about now, followed by their last of us by 2019. From what we can see MS is not even on the same planet as Sony, they have a long way to go in terms of being creative.

Watch their software space, not their hardware. This is what will determine if Xbox succeeds in the coming generations.

I don't think they should do that with the Xbox One, but rather a future Xbox with a more healthy mindshare. By all means make it last 10-15 years under the same sub-brand, maybe then they can reach 100 million units.

Quite likely, if they started this year it would even be too late for a 2020 launch, indeed.
